Chapter 237
Old Seven was wary.
This time, the Crimson Pavilion had dispatched four third-rank assassins to Sanhe Commandery in one stroke.
If Wangchuan had not discovered one of them in advance, leading to all four being captured in a single sweep… the Sanhe Commandery hall would have fallen into chaos!
Old Seven’s position in Sanhe Commandery would have suffered a direct blow. He might even have been held accountable by his superiors. And if shipping operations were disrupted, the consequences would have been even more severe.
Therefore…
Old Seven was deeply apprehensive about the Crimson Pavilion’s next act of revenge.
Right now, he only wanted to cover this fire with a lid.
As long as Crimson Pavilion did not learn that the four assassins had been captured, if he could buy some time…
Perhaps the authorities and the Caobang could draw Crimson Pavilion’s attention elsewhere.
